Alicia Keys' debut album, "Songs in A Minor," produced a string of hits -- including "Fallin'" and "A Woman's Worth" -- and earned the R&B singer-songwriter five Grammy Awards. Her subsequent albums continued to spawn both radio hits and critical praise.

With roles in feature films, such as "Smokin' Aces," "The Nanny Diaries" and "The Secret Life of Bees," it seems Keys has caught the acting bug.
